Germany Must Perish!

Introductory Note

by Mark Weber

Theodore N.
Kaufman, the author of Germany Must Perish, was a Manhattan-born Jewish
businessman who was also chairman of a group that called itself the "American
Federation for Peace." The first edition of this slim volume was published in
1940 or early 1941. A second, 96-page edition, which sold for 25 cents, was
published in 1941 by Argyle Press of Newark, New Jersey. Both editions were
issued when the United States was still officially neutral, that is, before the
Pearl Harbor attack of December 7, 1941, that brought the U.S. openly into World
War II.

Kaufman's fervent
proposal for the systematic sterilization of the entire German population was
given respectful attention in the American press, including reviews in a number
of newspapers. A review in the weekly Time magazine, March 24, 1941,
called Kaufman's plan a "sensational idea."

Germany's
propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, seized with delight on the book. "This Jew
[Kaufman] has done a disservice to the enemy," Goebbels privately commented. "If
he had composed the book at my behest he couldn't have done a better job."

At his direction
the German press played up Kaufman's call for genocide. A front page article
about the book in the Berlin daily Der Angriff, July 23, 1941, appeared
under headlines that called it a "Diabolical Plan for the Extermination of the
German People" and a work of "Old Testament Hatred." Extracts also appeared, for
example, in the nationally-circulated weekly paper Das Reich, August 3,
1941.

A plan similar to
Kaufman's was issued during the war years by a prominent American
anthropologist. In an article headlined "Breed War Strain Out of Germans" in the
New York daily newspaper P.M., January 4, 1943, Ernest Hooton laid out an
"outbreeding" plan that would "destroy German nationalism and aggressive
ideology while retaining and perpetuating desirable German biological and
sociological capacities." (See also: Benjamin Colby, ‘Twas a Famous Victory,
1974, p. 131.)

The Harvard
University professor's proposal called for genetically transforming the German
nation by encouraging mating of German women with non-German men, who would be
brought into the country in large numbers, and of German men, forcibly held
outside of Germany, with non-German women. Ten to twelve million German men
would be assigned to forced labor under Allied supervision in countries outside
of Germany to rebuild their economies. "The objects of this measure," wrote Dr.
Hooton, "include reduction of the birthrate of 'pure' Germans, neutralization of
German aggressiveness by outbreeding and denationalization of indoctrinated
individuals."

This plan, Hooton
estimated, would require at least 20 years to be implemented. "During this
period," he went on, "encourage also the immigration and settlement in the
German states of non-German nationals, especially males."

In the decades
since the end of World War II, something of the spirit of the genocidal Kaufman
and Hooton plans seems manifest in Germany's population and immigration
policies. Since the nation's defeat in 1945, the German birth rate has fallen to
below the replacement level, millions of racially and culturally alien migrants
have been welcomed as settlers in Germany, the number of children of mixed
ethnicity has sharply increased, and the ethnic-cultural character of much of
the country has been drastically altered, especially in the larger cities.

This dynamic volume
outlines a comprehensive plan for the extinction of the German nation and the
total eradication from the earth, of all her people. Also contained herein is a
map illustrating the possible territorial dissection of Germany and the
apportionment of her lands.

To all those men
and women who would rather die fighting for freedom, than remain alive as
slaves;

To all those men
and women who, unafraid, speak out the truth as they conceive it to be the
truth;

To all those men
and women who, inspired by the efforts, hopes and aspirations of mankind place
its needs before their own;

This book is humbly
dedicated.

Special Note to Reader

Germany Must Perish
presents a plan for the structure of a permanent and lasting peace among
civilized nations. It bases its thesis on the eventual defeat of Germany by the
British Empire and its Allies, without the assistance of the United States.

However, should
circumstances decree that the American public cast its ballot in favor of war as
a measure of self-defense (and it is the fervent prayer of the author that this
may never happen) it would become paramount that the lives of our native sons
not be sacrificed in vain as were their fathers' lives a generation ago.

If our soldiers
must go forth to kill or die in battle, at least let them be given not alone a
Slogan but a Solemn Purpose and a Sacred Promise.

Let that Purpose be
an Enduring Peace!

And, this time,
that Promise must be kept!

1. About This Book

Today's war is not
a war against Adolf Hitler.

Nor is it a war
against the Nazis.

It is a war of
peoples against peoples; of civilized peoples envisioning Light, against
uncivilized barbarians who cherish Darkness.

Of the peoples of
those nations who would surge forward hopefully into a new and better phase of
life, pitted against the peoples of a nation who would travel backward
enthusiastically into the dark ages. It is a struggle between the German nation
and humanity.

Hitler is no more
to be blamed for this German war than was the Kaiser for the last one. Nor
Bismarck before the Kaiser. These men did not originate or wage Germany's wars
against the world. They were merely the mirrors reflecting centuries-old inbred
lust of the German nation for conquest and mass murder.

This war is being
waged by the German People. It is they who are responsible. It is they who must
be made to pay for the war. otherwise, there will always be a German war against
the world. And with such a sword forever hanging overhead the civilized nations
of the world, no matter how great their hopes, how strenuous their efforts, will
never succeed in creating that firm and solid foun- dation of permanent peace
which they must first establish if ever they intend to start the building of a
better world.

For not only must
their be no more German wars in fact; there must not even remain the slightest
possibility of one ever again occurring. A final halt to German aggression, not
a temporary cessation, must be the goal of the present struggle.

This does not mean
an armed mastery over Germany, or a peace with political or territorial
adjustments, or a hope based on a defeated and repentant nation. Such
settlements are not sufficiently conclusive guarantees of no more German
aggressions.

This time Germany
has forced a TOTAL WAR upon the world.

As a result, she
must be prepared to pay a TOTAL PENALTY.

And there is one,
and only one, such Total Penalty: Germany must perish forever!

In fact -- not in
fancy!

Daily the truth is
being impressed upon us by observation, and upon others less fortunate, by
bombs, that the German doctrine of force is not one based upon either political
expediency or economic necessity. The personal war-lust of those who lead the
German people is but a component part of the war-lust which exists as a whole in
the German masses. German leaders are not isolated from the will of the German
people because apart from this will they could not come into being or exist at
all. Their personal inspiration, the motivation, even the acquiescence to their
deeds are one and all drawn by German leaders from the very depths of the German
national soul.

Far too often the
claim has been made that the present German drive toward world-dominion is only
street gangsterism practiced on an organized national scale, deriving
principally from the lowest classes, the dregs of Germany. Such a claim is not
sustained by facts, for the same lust, the same brute force which the Germans
display today under the rule of the so-called "low class Nazis," they also
displayed in 1914, at a time when the "highest classes" and the "noblest
specimens" capable of being produced by the German nation, the Junkers, ruled
that land. And a vast number of Germany's intellectuals, another German
"high-class," sat as members in the German Reichstag!

No! The problem of
Germanism must not again be passed along to the next generation. The world must
never again be stretched and tortured on the German rack. Ours is the problem;
ours the solution. The world has learned, with a knowledge born of tragedies too
numerous, too horrible to record, that regardless of what leader or class rules
Germany, war will be waged against it by that country, because the force which
compels it to action is an in- separable part of the mass-soul of that nation.
True, that soul, at one time, might have been otherwise fash- ioned.

But that time was
in the civilizing cycle of a thousand years ago. Now it is too late.

We know that. Our
men of 1917 did not. They had no precedent on which to base their experience. We
have not that excuse today. Their futile sacrifices and their empty efforts must
today dictate our own actions and decisions. We are paying today for the lack of
experience of the last generation in dealing with the peoples of the German
nation. When and if the time comes for us to take similar decision and action we
must not repeat their mistake. The cost is far too great; not alone for us, but
for all future generations.

We must bring
ourselves to realize that no leader can govern Germany at all unless, in some
manner, he embodies the spirit and expresses the war-soul existent in the
majority of her peoples. "Majority" is used advisedly for in speaking of the
masses which compose a nation it must be impartially conceded that some fraction
of the mass must perforce vary from it. Consequently no unfair contention is
here being made that everyone in Germany is guilty of its heinous offenses
against the world. In fact we shall, in pursuing our point, favor Germany by
allowing that as much as 20% of her population is entirely guiltless of
complicity in her crimes, as well as being foreign to any share of her war-soul.
We therefore grant, for argument's sake, that some 15,000,000 Germans are
absolutely innocent.

BUT -- shall Poles,
Czechs, Slovaks, Austrians, Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians, Frenchmen, Greeks,
Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotsmen, Canadians, Australians and Americans -- for we
too may ultimately feel the spike of the German boot -- shall all these peoples,
numbering some 300,000,000 of the most civilized, most enlightened on earth
suffer constantly and face unnatural death every generation so that some small
part of Germany's populace may continue to exist? Are those 15,000,000 Germans
so valuable, so indispensable to mankind that 300,000,000 guiltless men, women
and children shall fight a war with Germany every time she so decrees? Shall
perpetual struggle against the German be the only future facing civilized
peoples? Why breed children while Germany breeds war?

Are not the Dutch a
sober and thrifty people? Are not the French cultured? Are not the Czechs
industrious? Are not the Poles deeply attached to land, family and God? Are not
the Scandinavians a decent people? Are not the Greeks brave and fearless? Are
not the English, Irish, Scotch and American freedom-loving and progressive
people? And in very simple arithmetic are not these 300,000,000 more than
15,000,000 Germans?

If Democracy as
Americans know it is majority rule in a national sense, it must be so in an
international sense as well. The greatest good for the greatest number is
Democracy's rule of thumb; to fight for world Democracy is to secure the rights
of the majority of democratic peoples against the incursions made upon them by
any autocratic minority.

If this is not so,
why conscript a vast army for Democracy's defense? Why train American soldiers
to murder a hypothetical enemy of Democracy, when the Will which spawned this
enemy waxes and grows with each successive blood-bath?

In 1917 American
soldiers, as those of every other major nation, were forced to murder by the
millions. What for?

Suppose we are
forced again to kill? For wars are won only by such killing, not by dying. Again
what for? Another sell-out? Is selling-out our soldiers to become a national
habit? For quite patently, to fight once more in democratic defense against
Germany with any goal in view save that country's extinction constitutes, even
though it loses the war, a German victory. To fight, to win, and not this time
to end Germanism forever by exterminating completely those people who spread its
doctrine die to herald the outbreak of another German war within a generation.

Let us then beware,
for it is not illogical to assume that some day the soldier, if constantly
martialed and regimented against his will, may emerge from underneath the
time-worn cloak of "duty" and come, like labor, capital and civilian to demand
his "rights." It must not be unreasonable to conjecture that a soldier must have
rights too, as well as duties. Certainly, a man forced against his instinct to
kill has rights; perhaps not the rights of wages and hours, nor the rights of
profits, not the right of untrammeled speech against his superiors, which in a
military sense spells catastrophe. No, none of these; just a few simple rights
-- three of which would appear his in- contestable duty to demand: one, that he
be adequately supplied with the proper arms in sufficient quantities so that
there be a maximum of speed attached to his "killing," -- secondly, that he be
not betrayed by fifth-columnists who must, in wartime, be summarily dispatched,
by imprisonment or execution, and lastly, of the primmest importance, that he
receive a definite avowal by his government guaranteeing him once and for all
time that this whole ghastly, horrible business of killing the Germans is at an
end; that his son may know peace without having to kill for it.

If such a guarantee
be not vouchsafed him before his struggle, or be not upheld after his struggle,
as it was not the last time, (though the Generals knew, among them our own
Peshing, that Germany at that time should have been unalterably snuffed out) may
he not then take such action in his own hand? Granting labor has the right to
strike when its rights are violated, granting that capital withhold itself from
circulation when it feels its usage unprofitable, granting that the civilian
feels tyrannized when his civil liberties are jeopardized, what course may the
soldier not take once he realized he has been cheated, once too often, out of
that for which he killed?

When the day of
reckoning with Germany comes, as come it will, there will be only one obvious
answer. No statesmen or politician or leader responsible for post-war
settlements will have the right to indulge in the personal luxury of false
sentiment and specious sanctimony and declare that Germany, misled by her
leaders, shall deserve the right of resurrection! He will not be permitted this
time to forget so easily the bomb-blasted, earth-entombed millions of women and
children who lived through a hell on earth; the bullet-ridden, tank-crushed
bodies of soldiers; the many countries whose energies were sapped and resources
drained. And most of all, he will not be permitted to disregard the unselfish
sacrifices made by the common people so that the beast that is Germany shall
never roam on earth again!

It is a definite
obligation which the world owes to those who struggled and died against the
German yesterday, and to those who are fighting him again today, as it is the
bounden duty of the present generation to those yet unborn, to make certain that
the vicious fangs of the German serpent shall never strike again. And since the
venom of those fangs derives its fatal poison not from within the body, but from
the war-soul of the German, nothing else would assure humanity safety and
security but that that war-soul be forever expunged, and the diseased carcass
which harbors it forever removed from this world. There is no longer any
alternative:

Germany Must
Perish!

This war, with its
harrowing miseries, its indescribable German devastations, its unutterable
German atrocities, is born of the war-soul of those barbarians of whom
Machiavelli, writing over four hundred years ago, observed:

German towns are at
little or no expense in any thing, but in laying up military stores and making
good their fortifications ... on holidays instead of other diversion, the
Germans are taught the use of weapons.

History repeats
itself.

We can remove a
tiger from his natural environment, his lair in the jungle, and with patience so
tame him that eventually he will respond to our caress, feed from our hand and
perform at our command. The more acquiescent he becomes in response to this
outward conditioning, the more deceived are we in believing that his jungle days
have been forgotten. This is a fatal deception. For in- evitably there comes a
time when the tiger-soul within the tiger drives him again to the use of gang
and claw. In that inexorable response to that irresistible soul-force, the tiger
reverts once again to jungle lore. He becomes, again, a killer.

And so it is with
the people of Germany. They may respond for a while to civilizing forces; they
may seemingly adopt the superficial mannerisms and exterior behaviorism of
civilized peoples but all the while there remains ever present within them that
war-soul which eventually drives then, as it does the tiger, to kill. And no
amount of conditionism, or reasoning, or civilizing -- past, present or future
-- will ever be able to change this basic nature. For if no impress has been
made upon this war-soul over a period of some two thousand years it is to be
expected that of a sudden, on the morrow, this miracle will occur?

This analogous
linking of the people of Germany with savage breast is no vulgar comparison. I
feel no more personal hatred for these people than I might feel for a herd of
wild animals or a cluster of poisonous reptiles. One does not hate those whose
soul can exude no spiritual warmth; one pities then. If the German people wish
to live by themselves, in darkness, it would be strictly their own affair. But
when they make constant attempts to enshroud the souls of other people in those
fetid wrappings which cloak their own, it becomes time to remove them from the
realm of civilized mankind among which they can have no place, or right to
existence.

We need not condemn
the Germans. They stand self- condemned. For it suffices us to read and hear
those words written and spoken only by Germans; to endure sufferings and
dislocations caused solely by the German people in pursuit of their
megalomaniacal ideals and demonic aspirations to realize that it is the Germans
themselves who decree, almost demand, their ostracism from their follow-man.
They have lost the wish to be human beings. They are but beasts; they must be
dealt with as such.

This is an
objective viewpoint, carefully considered and factually sustained. It is the
view taken of them in this book.

Naturally there are
men in the world, our own country included, who think otherwise and who would
deal differently with the German menace. It is the custom of such men to take,
what they term, a "sensible" view of the problems and progress of humanity.
These men would rely upon fate to fashion the future. They would, in effect,
permit the Germans to conquer and enslave the world by explaining, in terms
whose degree of vociferousness is dependent upon the extent of their own
personal motive of gain, that German world-dominion cannot last forever; that at
some future date Germany would ultimately lose its iron grip upon the world and
then enslaved mankind would come to free itself again. Or, if neither collusion
nor surrender seems palatable to their listeners, they would suggest a
compromise with the Germans, the so-called "Negotiated Peace."

These are soulless
postulates. They can originate only in men whose hearts and souls are still held
captive by the marine life of their origin; human species of spineless jellyfish
floundering about in the waters of yesteryear. These are men of the past forever
living in that past. Men who, being incapable of mastering their own
intellectual and spiritual primitivism, seek to drag others down with them to
the murky depths and stygian blackness which surround their own pitiful
existence.

These are the men,
indeed, who witnessing the actual enslavement of such civilized and humane
people as the Austrians, Czechs, Poles, French, Dutch, Norwegian and Belgians
would all too willingly close their eyes and simulate disbelief in that which is
stark and dread reality. These are men who with fatalism as their creed come
intellectually to be anesthetized by it; who, proclaiming fate an ally, have
become its most pathetic servants. Fortunately, such men are not yet in the
majority nor will they be unless Germany can harness, employ or bribe enough of
them to spread the German netherworld doctrines throughout the earth. But even
as a minority the danger which these "appeasers" represent in none the less real
and they must be harshly dealt with. For by such actions as they may take under
the cloak of "unquestioned patriotism" it is apparent that they would not do so
unless, within their own soul there existed some part complementary to the
war-soul of the German. Those other appeasers whose integrity is doubtful and
patriotism questionable -- those who advocate the principles of Germanism -- are
downright traitors to their country. And when, as and if a government can not or
refuses to treat them as such, may it not come in time to depend upon the
people, whose lives and liberty are at stake, to do so!

I have no desire
that this work be considered as a means of encouraging war for this or any other
nation.

As a human being I
deplore war; as a civilized member of a civilized nation I hate it.

I hate war not
alone for the sufferings, misery, tragedy and senseless waste which follows in
its path, but even more because I consider it to be the still-unsevered
umbilical cord which binds the moral and spiritual embryo of man to the physical
womb of the beast-instinct. And I know that so long as that cord remains uncut
social evolution and human progress must rest forever upon an impermanent and
insecure basis. And too, that so long as war persists there will never come into
being that world peace out of which, some day, a world confederation of nations
will be born. For it is such a confederation which is the ultimate aim and
absolute inevitability of the human race.

Peace! Hardly a
man, woman or child lives who has not heard the word! Throughout the ages it has
been a subject of more discussion and debate than any other single problem of
mankind. In the halls of government great orators have loudly extolled its
virtues. The great prophets of every religion on earth have preached its gospel
and catalogued its benefits to world humanity. And in all the world we find that
peace is the common denominator which binds together the people of all nations,
of all color and races, in common thought and prayer.

Why then, after
passing through thousands of years of such great desire and yearning have we
failed to find peace? Why is it that after such a prolonged period of time not
one single practical and enduring step has been taken toward its absolute
realization? Certainly no one man or group of men shall be born tomorrow who
shall exceed in knowledge and excel in ability all those great men who have
written, spoken and preached about peace over the long past. What shall we do
then? Throw up our hands and give up? Shall we have done with peace by
exclaiming that it dose not exist because it cannot? That is an unobtainable
abstract?

I do not believe
that it is any such thing. I sincerely believe that peace on earth can come to
exist as a permanent condition of living. But believing in it as I do, I would
not expect it to arrive, on some fine morning, knock on my door, and suddenly
announce its presence! No, it will never come of itself!

I believe that
peace can be produced, not merely conceived. But never so long as war persists.

Then why does war
still exist?

Simply because it
has not been made impossible for it to be waged.

There is only one
way to abolish war: impose a penalty of such dire magnitude and frightful
consequence upon aggressor peoples as to render it virtually impossible for any
nation to start a war.

War must be fought
not with weapons of ever-increasing destructiveness but with penalties
infinitely more frightful and hazardous than war itself.

This book sincerely
believes that it has found such a penalty; and by its imposition upon the people
of Germany, this book believes that not only would a great scourge be removed
from the world, but a great good born to it.

Note: The majority
of authors dealing with Germanism have treated that subject purely as a product
of modern times -- born after the last world war -- and since developed solely
by Hitler and his Nazis. The reader, in pursuing the subsequent chapters on
Germanism, will find out for himself just how mistaken these authors are in
their viewpoints. And since the German quotations and German writings are so
contemporaneously apropos -- though they were all written prior to the last
world war -- I have thought it advisable, lest they be considered "fabricated,"
to append a bibliography to this volume.

2. Background of Germanism

Germans are an
execrable people! They think and dream of nothing but chicanery. Their great joy
consists in fault-finding, shrieking and threats. They brandish arms which are
like barbed clubs; from their mouths instead of ordinary human speech, issue the
rumbling of artillery and the clash of steel; their life is one of perpetual
explosion. The German does not live on the heights; he avoids light, and from
his hiding place he picks to pieces treaties, exercises his malign influence on
newspaper articles, pores over maps, measures angles, and traces with gloating
eagerness the lines of frontiers. To love their country is for them to despise,
flout and insult every other country. They are capable of little else but
cheating and lying, even to themselves. They meddle in everyone else's affairs,
poking their nose into matters that do not concern them, criticizing everything,
bossing everything, lowering and distorting everything. What a pity that
twenty-three centuries after Socrates and Plato, two thousand years after
Christ, the voice of men like these should still be heard in the world, worse
still that they should be listened to, and worst of all that any one should
believe them! Country for them is an isolated organism and they admit it is
possible for them to live and breathe in an atmosphere of haughty contempt for
their neighbors. They conceive their country as a permanent element of
dissolution like a devouring and insatiable monster, a beast of prey, whose one
function is to plunder. All that it does not possess it has been robbed of. The
universe belongs to it by right. Whoever attempts to escape from its tyranny is
a rebel. This jingo country, this bloodthirsty fetish of which they are the
champions, they endow, with the capriciousness of potentates, when it suits
their purpose, with every marvelous and charming attribute. Whoever does not at
once agree with their extravagances is a barbarism. You must love their country
in full armor, with dervish-like celebrations and howls, eyes shut and body
trembling with ecstasy; a deaf ear must be turned to the rest of the world on
its failings. Everything that is not It must be hated. Hate is sacred. Love and
hate are in connection with your country two terms proceeding from one condition
of mind. For them Industrial progress is not a happy sign of national prosperity
but a means of domination. Geography is not the science of the earth, but a mere
revelation of the boundaries between which are elaborated strategical schemes of
conquest. Every neighbor is of necessity a jealous one, and the enemy who is
vigilant is jealous too. The world is populated by hyenas crouching on the plots
of earth from which they ought to be dislodged.

The German has
decided that his race has been elected by God to order the modern world. Anyone
who resists him will be an arrogant usurper, who ought to be crushed. The German
professes to want peace, but it must be his own sort of peace, after the pattern
of the Persian satrap's who, out of love for peace and concord, throws everyone
to the lions who dares dispute him. His voice is raucous and resounding; he does
not argue but makes sweeping assertions and lays down the law. As the first sign
of resistance he grows crimson in the face, and has resource to thunder and
lightning. He holds forth on the authority of a sacred categorical imperative
which stands in the stead of truth and order; he respects nothing and no one.
Should he find himself confronted by the law, he says that it needs reforming.
Ministers are mere clerks to be used as pawns in his manoeuvering. He is
exacting and cantankerous; whoever undertakes to shout with him never shouts
loud enough. To give in to him means becoming enlisted as his civil agent. He is
an agitator and swashbuckler. He dips his pen in gall and he sets in motion with
his antics the marionettes which appeal to the nation and may come to conquer
it. The fundamental superiority of the German race, the necessity of expanding
German prestige in all quarters of the globe, of protecting the German wherever
he may be found, no matter what he may be, because he bears within him a
residuum of the race; that is what the educators of youth coming down the years
in disciplined array like battalions crossing the manoeuver fields, have never
ceased to drum into the popular understanding and the flame of victory rising to
the sky will be the signal for it to boil over. (note 1)

A vivid portrait of
a Nazi? Emphatically so, and yet, though thirty years have past since it was
first written, we can easily discern, in the character of the German of that
remote period, every single trait which characterized the German madmen of
today. Yesterday they may have been called Pan-Germans; today Nazis; tomorrow
perhaps Supergerman. Time cannot change the infernal breed, whatever its label.
Time merely enlarges the field in which the German can, with ever-increasing
intensity and thoroughness, practice those monstrous acts which his fevered,
war-intoxicated brain dictates, and his vile instincts and barbaric, savage soul
prompts. If today the urge of his war-soul can prompt the German to murder
innocent hostages imagine, if you can, how that same soul will express itself
through the thousandfold-more-fanatic German of tomorrow?

To most people the
fantastic "progress" of the Nazi has seemed as meteoric and unexpected as an
unheralded bolt of lightning suddenly discharged from the heavens. Others hold
tenaciously, with dangerous deception, to the opinion that the Nazi came into
power only as a result of the German-termed "inequities" of the Versailles
treaty, and that the beliefs and aims of the Nazi were, and are, merely the
result of a contemporary but transient political and economic upheaval in
Germany. Such opinions gave birth to the most outstanding criminal misconception
of the Nazi and his party; that after those so-called injustices to Germany were
remedied, the Nazi would vanish from the scene by his own accord, or the German
people would rise up in revolt against him.

Such misconceptions
of his origin, structure and purpose were eagerly fostered and disseminated by
the Nazis themselves. We know how belief in them has already led a dozen nations
to their doom, and yet not so long ago a prominent member of our congress arose
and declared that the German idea of world-dominion was a fantasy, and advised
Americans to dismiss the avowed aims of the Nazis a fabulous myths! (note 2)
Such utterances are not only born of incredible stupidity but, if not downright
traitorous, are extremely dangerous, for they tend to blind people to those
stark realities which they must face, firmly and honestly, if they are ever to
successfully combat them. Too, such beliefs tend to diffuse among our people
that same indifference, lethargy and irresponsibility which permeated the
peoples of those nations which, one by one, fell victim to the German peril.
These nations found that the German peril was not a myth; the sufferings of
their people are the best description of the German character, methods, and
final aims.

By thus helping to
create the impression of his transiency of character and purpose, and by
promoting propaganda proclaiming his ever-imminent downfall, the Nazi knew full
well that those nations would incorrectly gauge the strength and deprecate the
durability of his party and, what was and is infinitely more important, would
fail to correctly interpret the growth and aims of the Nazi as being compatible
to, and not at variance with, the German character; a bud whose nourishment is
drawn not from an isolated branch but from the very roots of the German soul.

For it must be
patent by now that while all the Germans may not approve of the means being
employed by the Nazis in achieving German-world-dominion, they are practically
unanimous in agreeing that that goal must, now or in the future, be definitely
achieved by Germany. Were the German nations to win this war, not one German
would hesitate laying claim to a share in the loot. But, losing the war, they
intend to be ready to disclaim, individually, the actions taken by then
collectively, under their "government." Thus they intend to escape, once again,
punishment for their crimes. Yet defeat will on no account erase their desire to
conquer and rule the world. There is only one way to frustrate such a desire:
the goal of world-dominion must be removed from the reach of the German and the
only way to accomplish that is to remove the German from the world!

Therefore, it is
most essential that we realize as an irreconcilable fact the truth that the
Nazis are not beings existing apart from the German people. They are the German
people! For to the German, Nazi or not, the Mailed Fist is stimulating and
meaningful as symbol of all the aims and aspirations of his nation as the Statue
of Liberty is to the American. Make no mistake about it; world- dominion is not
a mirage to the German; it never was, and so long as Germany exists as a nation,
it never will be. A belief to the contrary, if too-long sustained, may well
result in the world's enslavement by the German.

As fantastic and as
cyclonic as Nazi "accomplishments" might seem, it is still more fantastic to
note as a fact that in the entire annals of history no doctrine ever existed
which has all its major beliefs so clearly defined, its methods so concisely
detailed, and its aims so vividly, comprehensively, and boldly stated
beforehand. It is in every respect a deliberate, ruthlessly calculated plot to
rule the world or, failing that, to annihilate it! And so long as the German
nation exists it intends, in one form or another, now or later, to bring about
just such a catastrophe.

The unfortunate
neglect displayed by the various governments in preparing for the cataclysmic
events brought about by the German Nazis becomes all the more startling and
tragic when we examine records existing by the thousands and emanating solely
from unbiased German sources, some written as far back as fifty years ago,
clearly indicating the precise course of procedure to be some day adopted by the
German in his march to world- conquest. These documents are not pedantic
treaties expressing theories or extravaganzas dealing in fables or fancies. They
are substantial, sober outpourings from the very soul of Germandom. And as such
they define lucidly its structure, and interpret frankly its yearnings.

Moreover, these
records are so exact in their theme and comprehensive in their scope that the
Nazis have adopted and embraced them almost ad verbatim. In searching through
these original papers one is struck by the realization that Mein Kampf is
nothing more than a clumsily-written hodge-podge collection of the writings,
opinions and teachings contained in those records and ex- pounded by Germans
years before Adolf Schickelgruber war born! As we shall see later, even Hitler's
much-publicized mystic prophecies, and his time-tables of conquests are merely
reprints of those published, too, long before his time.

If Hitler was able
to make such rapid strides in resurrecting again the monstrosity that is
Germanism, it was only because the German people, long before his birth, had
already become completely instilled with each and every principle and precept,
with every yearning and desire which he himself, later, came merely to express
and advocate. The poisonous wine of destruction has long before been distilled;
Hitler is merely the agent decanting the poisonous fluid from its bottle, which
is the German war-soul, into the jug that is world humanity. In detailing those
ingredients which combine to constitute the toxic formula of Germanism the
author shall quote, wherever confirmation of his statements may be deemed
advisable, principally from German sources. For after all no one can explain the
German so well as he himself. He has made no secret of his character, his
ambitions and his intentions. By his acts he has himself bared his heart and
soul; by his words, by his own hand he will someday come to dig his own grave.

It is not to be
wondered at that the nations of the Western world regard the avowed program of
the German for world conquest and dominion with a great deal of amazement and
incredulity. For such an idea is entirely alien to those basic principles and
instincts of the western civilization which, painfully and gradually, arose out
of the chaos of the past thousands of years. Such civilized nations regard
individual rights, the sacredness of human life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness as the virtues of mankind and itself, the individual States, as
guarantor of those rights. And though, at one time or another during their
existence nations may have sought political and economic adjustments, even
territorial aggrandizement through force of arms, it must be noted that no
Western nation has ever made such a religion of war, such idolatry or armaments,
and such a cult of mass murder and destruction as has Germany and her peoples.

According to her
own writers, teachers and statesmen Germany has but one great reason for
existing; that of achieving world-dominion! Since that is its highest aim,
therefore, Germany constantly claims that it has every right to make free and
liberal use of chicanery, deceit, intolerance, lust, persecution and oppression,
in order to achieve that goal. Consequently such a perverted nation , such a
State of human negation, views its vice as being the only true virtue in life,
whereas to the Germans the virtues as they are known and may be practiced by the
rest of the world are merely vices due to the latter's decay and degeneration!
(note 3) As though there exists anywhere in the world a nation which can boast
of degeneration in the same degree as Germany!

The primary reason
which stirs German lust for world- dominion was best summarized by a German
professor who declared that since Germany will never be able to understand the
world, the latter must be conquered and reformed so that it will be able to
conform to German thought! (note 4)

It is just such
mass megalomania, crass egoism intellectual aberrancy which stirred the demented
brain of the German of yesterday to foment his wars; which animates the insane
Nazi today in continuing those wars and which will, if the schizophrenic Teutons
continue to exist, direct the policies and actions of any party in control of
Germany in the future. For, to reiterate, the German idea of world- dominion and
enslavement of its peoples is no political belief: it is a fierce and burning
gospel of hate and intolerance, of murder and destruction and the unloosing of a
sadistic blood lust. It is, in every literal sense, a savage and pagan religion
which incites its worshippers first to a barbaric frenzy and then prompts them
to vent their animal ferocity in the practice of every horrible, ruthless and
unmentionable atrocity upon innocent men, women and children. Such are the true
Germanic virtues! And the world will feel their sting so long as they continue
to tolerate Germany and her peoples on the earth, for those Germanic traits are
the same as those which, emanating from the German soul, animated the Germanic
tribes of yore. We have but to examine the development of those tribes to
perceive just to what extent within the German soul, the German ideal of world
conquest and dominion really lies.

The German
slave-holding tribes were noted for their unnaturally passionate love of war and
destruction. Seeck, a noted German historian, writes with pride that the Germans
of ancient days were notorious for their villainy and treachery and "their
faithlessness became almost proverbial with the Romans," (note 5) who found that
the Germans were adept at breaking a pact or a peace whenever it best suited
them to so do.

Lamprecht, another
German historian, recounts that even among themselves the Germans held no pledge
valid! (note 6) Is it so much to be wondered at then that a nation whose people
distrust one another, would hesitate at double-crossing any of its fellow
nations?

Those ancient
Germanic tribes, like the peoples of modern Germany, were unable to assimilate
and accept the humane ideals, civilized aims and social aspirations of their
neighbors as constituting the desirable, natural goal of life. "Warlike, as
then, have the Germans ever remained!" (note 7)

We can understand,
therefore, why to a German peace is not an objective but merely an interlude to
be used by him to prepare for a war in which he can assuage the thirst for mass
murder which burns in his soul. The German has absolutely no regard for life;
there is no such expression in his language as "sacredness of human life."

It would be
impossible, even between the covers of a thousand volumes, to list and describe
the demonic brutalities practiced by the Germans upon innocent peoples, and
though records of the last war are replete with numerous actual incidents
illustrating the innate cruelty and viciousness of the Germans we have but to
refer to one recent occurrence, the sinking of the British vessel "Lancastria"
to realize just how and why the German earns his reputation for such cruelty and
viciousness.

For assuredly,
after sinking a vessel, the aviators of no other Western nation would have
deliberately and coldbloodedly dropped incendiary bombs on the oil-covered
waters which surrounded the ship in order to roast alive the desperate women and
children struggling below. But the German aviators did not hesitate to do so; it
must have been with a perverted gleam in their mad eye that they boiled those
women and children alive in oil! This from a "modern" and self-styled "cultured"
nation! A nation whose press heralded such cannibalism as an illustrious example
of German courage and heroism!

Such is the
"Master-Race" of the world!

3. Organized Germanism

Germanism -- the
theory of a master race of Germans destined to enslave a weak world by force and
brutality -- had been an unvoiced doctrine of German belief since tribal days
until the latter part of the last century when it reached its maturity by
becoming fashioned into a vast and well-organized movement. Its astounding and
ambitious program amalgamated all the major doctrines and beliefs of such German
teachers, writers, statesmen and philosophers as Kant, Nietzsche, Hegel, von
Bernhardi, Rohrbach, Treitschke and Spengler. And because the doctrine which it
preached touched upon the very roots of the German soul, and embraced the
fundamental tenets of the German intellect, the movement met with immediate and
tremendously popular response. In fact its program was so popular with the
Germans that within ten years after its inception its malignant dogma was
already spread throughout the entire world.

In 1886 a Dr. Karl
Peters convened a General German Congress in Berlin during the course of which
all German national associations therein represented were merged into one group,
a so-called German League. (note 13) Its program at first was vague and
indefinite, and so much strife grew to exist among the various groups composing
the League, that its dissolution seemed imminent until 1891 when Professor Ernst
Hasse, a deputy in the Reichstag from Leipzig, became its president and took its
management into his own hands.

The first step of
Professor Hasse was to broadcast a widespread plea for help, appealing, as he
said, "to the traditions of the German soul." His appeal met with such a
favorable response that the League grew by leaps and bounds until it was not
long before it was able to publish and maintain its own newspaper. In 1894 it
changed its name to the Pan-German League (note 8) and proceeded to lay down an
entire program of action relative to world-conquest and domination by Germany.
This program of action for achieving such a goal was so replete with details,
and its plan of procedure so comprehensive that it was adopted, almost
unchanged, by the Nazis. For its motto the League used the words of the Great
Elector: "Remember you are a German!"

During the interval
in which the Pan-German League was organized, a German professor, Heinrich von
Treitschke was being hailed throughout Germany as a new prophet. For years he
had been spreading the fiery message of Germanism; it was a rabid admixture of
war, hate, anti-Christism and destruction. It was the preaching of such
doctrines which today has earned for Treitschke the great "honor" of being
recognized by the Germans as the apostle of their ideology.

Heinrich von
Treitschke was born in Dresden in 1834. After graduating from various German
universities and spending some time in aimless drifting, he suddenly became
consumed with the tortuous idea of a German unity founded by the sword. Feeling
that the best method, in his day, of spreading such a belief was through
teaching, he turned eagerly to that profession. His continual in- sistence on
spreading Prussianism and its doctrine of the "mailed-fist rule" finally enabled
him to settle in Berlin where he became established as a popular historian and
publicist.

Treitschke was a
war-monger and a "might makes right" advocate of the first rank. Possessing a
natural gift of eloquence he held his students spellbound during his lectures on
"conquer at all costs" for, according to his interpretation of Germany's
development and history, it had to pursue such a course in order to spread
itself beyond its boundaries. At first he set Europe as the area of Germany's
"Lebenstraum" but, after the success of the German army in 1870 he enlarged and
expanded upon his original declaration by stating that the world was Germany's
to conquer and dominate; that through foisting war upon the world the German
nation was destined to become the "super-state" of the universe, and to hold its
people in thraldom. These teachings so appealed to the German character that
Treitschke, like Hitler, soon captured the intellectuals as well as the masses
of his day. His doctrines were spread throughout Germany by his many pupils
until, eventually, practically every educated German of that day fell under his
influence. Conceivably, he could not have inspired such a profound belief in
such monstrous doctrines unless, in substance, they embraced aims and ideas
already very definitely existing as inherent in the German character and innate
in his soul. Many of those beliefs explain much of Germany's present actions.

According to
Treitschke (note 9) the individual has no right of his own, but exists only for
the State which has the exclusive right to use him as it wills. There is no
other force except the will of the State, and war is the only and best way in
which that will might be employed by it. A Germany so constituted can recognize
no earthly power and "might makes right" only when a German wields the sword!
There is no such thing to the German as "sacredness of human life" and war is
sublime to him because in it he can "murder without passion." War is the best
way in which Germany can enforce its will upon its neighbors, as well as being
"the only cure for diseased nations."

Treitschke then
treats with various methods to be employed by Germany in order to conquer and
dominate the world.

"Germany," he
writes, "must make it a duty to employ traitors in the enemy state for its own
interest," even though, he adds, "every good German subject is a latent, and
when opportunity arises, an active spy."

Lying and deceit
are encouraged as being a foundation stone for German policy and as for treaties
and the like Treitschke advises that they are mere scraps of paper and urges
that "they can and must be denounced by Germany whenever the promise they hold
become unprofitable to her." In such a case a treaty becomes automatically
obsolete and "German honor" demands that it be broken! There is, he continues,
no such thing as international law and order, no covenants between nations. As
for justice, there is no such thing except at the point of a German sword.

All of Treitschke's
teachings as well as the most pointed and precise interpretation ever made of
the German ego is best summarized in a declaration in which he maintained that
Germany could never have peace with the world because to the German mode of
thought it "is a foreign world, which cannot be reformed, but can only be
overthrown." Thus the ideal of Germany becomes allied to the "rule of evil" in a
common German effort to annihilate civilization!

The Pan-German
League combined Treitschke's various doctrines into a program of action and
issued, among its statutes, four main principles which lay down broadly its
chief objectives. (note 10) They were:

1. To watch over
and support all German national movements in all countries where Germans have to
sustain a struggle in support of Germanism with the object of embracing and
uniting all Germans on the globe.

2. To promote an
active German policy in interests in Europe and across the seas and especially
to further all colonial movements for practical purposes.

3. To treat and
solve all questions bearing upon the bringing up of children and higher
education in the Germanic sense.

4. To quicken
patriotic self-consciousness of Germans, and to offer opposition to all
movements antagonistic to national development.

In further
explanation of the above statutes the League issued a manifesto declaring that
"the fate of the Germans in Austria cannot be a matter of indifference to
Germany; it cannot be a matter of indifference whether the Saxons or Swabians in
Hungary are Magyarized, or the Germans in Switzerland or the Flemish in Belgium
are Gallicized. Germans must actively support all movements in those countries
in support of Germanism. Germanism across the seas must be preserved and
fostered by every possible means." (note 12)

We already know how
well the German has heeded and obeyed such advice.

By 1900 there were
some fifty various associations in existence all subservient to the Pan-German
League. Ramified in character but identical in aim these groups, which ranged
from military and naval cliques to sports leagues and banking institutions, were
all fervidly pledged to preserve and foster Germanism in foreign lands.
Politically too, the League gained considerable prestige. In 1903 no less than
forty-three members of the Reichstag had already been initiated as members.

Branches of the
League sprang up in major cities of the world. Of the two in the United States
one was located in New York, the other in Texas. With the spread of its
propaganda, the League scattered a large number of secret agents throughout the
world for the purpose of supplying it with confidential reports relating to the
gospel of Germanism. These agents were the forerunners of the present day
fifth-columnists; it was their work which started to compilation of the
notorious German "scrap-book" in which that government listed all its enemies,
and enemies to the idea of a German-dominated world. To a nation such as Germany
blackmail pales in insignificance to its other crimes. And so, with every pass-
ing hour, the members of the German League continued with their nefarious work
which, teaching and enforcing the great common German ideal of
world-enslavement, quickly became an integral part of the average German life
and dreams. By 1905, the tenets of the Pangerman were already known to all. The
initial work had been done. The vicious virus of Germanism had been injected
into the life stream of the public, and the Germans awaited the epidemic which
they felt must sooner or later infest the world.

As a matter of
fact, the work and program as well as the propaganda which they spread had
reached such a pitch that as far back as 1895 various German writers were
already busy prophesying how and when the ideologic goal of German
world-dominion would be attained! These prophets were by no means few in number;
there exists a large number of serious works by German authors in which the
destiny of their country is elaborately worked out in full detail and the
deification of Germanism as a world religion depicted.

From one such
prophecy, written in 1900, we learn that "things about the year 1950 have begun
to cause great uneasiness. All Germans have been united, Holland enters the
German union; in Belgium the Flemings grow in power and because the French
element causes increasing trouble, Germany is obliged to intervene. If France
objects to a total absorption (of Belgium by Germany) then the French Walloon
territory falls to France the Flemish portion to Germany. Maybe the French
fight, in which case all Belgium will be annexed and incorporated in the German
World Empire." The author then goes on to discuss, rather vaguely, the case of
Rance, Switzerland, and the Balkans, after which he cautions the Germans "by all
means avoid a war with Russia, if possible." He completed the prophesy by
stating that "in the year 1950 Great World Germany will possess a population of
two hundred millions. Everybody is happy because all the Germans are now united
and are ruling the world!" (note 14)

This prophesy did
not, by any means, appear fantastic to the German of that day. Actually it was
considered as altogether too conservative because more radical leaders had set
the establishment of the "German World" at a much earlier date than 1950.
Writing in 1895 one ambitious German predicted that Der Tag would arrive
sometime in 1915. Here is a summary of his augury:

Around about 1915
the whole world starts trembling. Two great States take action in self-defense,
America and Russia. America proclaims aloud the doctrine of "Pan-America."
Russia concludes customs treaties with Turkey, Persia and China. Great Britain,
Pan-America and the Pan-Slavonic Russian Colossus threaten to overwhelm the
sixteen states of Europe. At this juncture Germany intervenes and rising to the
occasion, sets to work to prepare army and navy for the coming struggle.

Then follows a
description of the war and a few miscellaneous vagaries after which the writer
continues:

The Junkers roll in
money. Meanwhile Pan-America has become a source of great uneasiness to Germany
for Germanism is threatened in South America. The United States, declining to
give way, the German, Italian and French navies mobilize and set sail for
America. The American navy is destroyed. On land the German troops made short
work of the American mercenaries. Under the brilliant leadership of the German
Leader, the Germans were everywhere victorious. On sea the German ships, guns
and men showed their great superiority over the English who were regularly
defeated. German discipline, courage and skill made the German navy invincible.
The British navy was destroyed. Invaded, the English offered but a half-hearted
resistance. The German and Italian soldiers seized London. England and America
were defeated. Peace was concluded. (note 15)

Concerning the
terms of such a peace, the writer declared that:

...Germany took
Mexico, Guatemala, British Honduras, all Brazil south of the Amazon, Uruguay,
Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru and northern Chile. France took Brazil north of the
Amazon, British Guiana, Venezuela, Columbia and Ecuador. Italy took what was
left of South America, including the Argentine. The West Indies were divided
between Germany and France. Gibraltar was restored to Spain, Malta given to
Italy, Cyprus to Turkey. The English had to pay an enormous war indemnity. There
was great discontent in England because the entire British navy was held by the
Germans as a guarantee of payment. All England's Suez Canal shares were
confiscated and distributed among the victorious powers. The Kimberley diamond
mines were seized by Germany and all English and American capital invested in
Brazil and South America was transferred to German hands. The Cable lines were
taken by Germany and all English and American colonists were ordered to leave
South America within a year, never to be permitted to settle in any country on
that continent again.

Thus England and
America are humbled and the rule of the German Mailed-Fist secured! Maps,
circulated soon after this prophesy was made public, illustrate the division of
South America; the northern half and Central America being portrayed thereon as
German colonies.

Still another
writer, predicting a war somewhat similar to the one mentioned above finished
his prophesy by stating that "after completely humbling England, the time had
arrived for Germany to settle with the United States, but upon German
mobilization United States yielded to all her demands without striking a blow!"
(note 16)

Though many of
these "prophecies" vary in detail the reader is aware of the one outstanding
fact which pervades them all; that the deification of Germanism cannot be
accomplished without the fall and humiliation of both England and the United
States. This was declared to be a fact by Dr. Paul Semassa, a German Professor
who, in 1902, stated that Germany must be prepared to combat the Britons and
Americans; after defeating these last of the free peoples, Germany could then
rule the world in any way she pleased!

In 1904 one
observer, taking serious note of all such German prophecies and desires wrote an
envisioned analysis in which he forewarned that "the doctrine of Germanism may
quite well become a national ideal and kindle a very dangerous spirit. For
Anglo-Saxondom the lesson it teaches is obvious. Readiness is all. Let England
and the United States be prepared at all times successfully to meet the Teutonic
onrush if ever it should come." (note 17)

4. Germanism Abroad

I. United States

The task of
spreading the heathenish cult of Germanism in foreign lands was delegated to the
General School Association, an organization maintained by the Pan-German League.
Beginning its operations in 1881 that association, existing today as the
notorious German Ausland Organization (AO), was the first to prepare the ground
and develop and test the tactics which are being used today by all German
fifth-columnists.

Of all the
countries in which he spread his evil doctrine, it was only in the United States
that the German had any doubts about the successful retention and development of
Germanism. So much so, in fact, that Professor Hasse, in one of his speeches
before the German Reichstag declared that the "grave of Germanism lies in
America" and the spade which will dig that grave is the Monroe Doctrine. But not
all exponents of Germanism, however, felt so forlornly about their chances of
successfully propagating Germanism in this country, and they made many early
attempts to reorganize and strengthen their movements here.

In effect, the
Germans did not achieve any notable success in their work. The Americans of
German origin or descent either had no interest in preserving his German
identity in contradistinction to his pride in being labeled an "American" or
else, because he had fled his native land precisely on account of such malignant
beliefs and persecutions, he retained no desire or inclination to see those
evils flourish in a land of freedom which he had come to adopt as his own.

German fury,
stirred to fever-pitch heights by the apoplectic rantings of German leaders
expressed itself against the United States many times. The first of these crises
occurred at the time of the Spanish-American war when Germany tried to raise a
coalition of nations to oppose our stand. Next it was Germany's plan to effect a
European Customs Union against the United States, a step which was immediately
followed by attempts first to annex Samoa and then to break the force of the
Monroe Doctrine by testing it in Venezuela. All these attempts failed
principally because of England's refusal to act in collusion with Germany
against an independent United States, as well as England's firm acceptance and
advocacy of the Monroe Doctrine as a major and permanent policy of our country.

Chagrined at her
failures to impress her will upon the United States Germany decided to try new
tactics. She adopted a policy of "taking it easy"; a policy which she hated
because it was one antagonistic to her natural ideals of arrogance, brute force
and aggression, and contrary to the spirit of her war-soul. Such inherent hatred
of Germany to adhere to a sane course of international procedure which takes
into account human rights and decencies, was well summarized by one of her most
able and popular political writers, Dr. Paul Rohrbach who exclaimed:

Does any one think
that Germany likes saying nice things to the United States, or that they are the
outpourings of a loving heart? She only says them because Germany must eradicate
the suspicions with which Americans regard her policy. (note 18)

Because of their
common language and their humanistic philosophies the Germans regarded both
England and the United States as dire enemies of his Super-state and, therefore,
his main function as a trouble-maker in the latter country expressed itself in
attempts to drive a wedge between it and England. Part of his hatred for England
was directed toward it for its "not feeling ashamed" to openly recognize the
Monroe Doctrine. Again and again reference to the Doctrine creeps up in
connection with the origin and development of Germanism in the United States.

In 1903 Johannes
Volert declared that "the Monroe Doctrine is indefensible. It is direct
impertinence, and all the more so as America is lacking the means to enforce its
application." (note 19)

This perpetual
opposition of Germany to the Monroe Doctrine as well as its continual defiance
of it was best delineated in an article printed at the beginning of this century
by the Journal of Commerce in answer to the German claim that the Monroe
Doctrine was "an empty pretension." The purport of that message is so fraught
with vigor and truth, its every word so fresh and alive and currently apropos,
that it deserves quotation here in full.

The last German
professor (Mommsen) to fall foul of the Monroe Doctrine seems to show the usual
Teutonic incapacity to understand what it means. He assumes that this "empty
pretension" on the part of the United States is to control the destiny of the
South American nations, and to keep Europeans out of them. He cannot see that
the United States seeks no predominance, but only objects to European
predominance. The German mind fails to see that our policy is to leave South
American countries independent, to develop on their own lines; and all we ask of
Europe is that it shall leave them independent, and not undertake to appropriate
their territory or suppress their sovereignty. The United States wishes South
America to do its own controlling.

Failing constantly
in their attempts to drive a wedge between the two English-speaking countries
Germans were instructed by their headquarters to try to create a force of their
own with which to combat Americans. In reviewing this angle of attack, Professor
Hasse stated that the only way in which he could envision a future for Germanism
in the United States was for the Germans to "so organize and educate the German
element in that country that political power will finally fall into its lap."
And in order to do so, the professor advises that "Germans must abandon all
attempts to take sides on Democratic and Republican matters, and form themselves
into a national political party." Another professor, Muensterberg, agreed with
Hasse by adding that the Germans should build a State within a State, in the
United States. Still another German writer added that the best way for the
Germans to form a political party of their own was to infect the American,
especially those of Irish extraction, with the German virus of Anglophobia. The
recommendation was also made that the Germans appoint a confidential agent in
Washington who might keep in touch with the (American) government and influence
it!(note 20)

All these wild
notions of Germanism produced a great deal of agitation in this country but the
German was not able to maintain that any real progress had been made by his
movement in the United States. It is only since the rise of present Germany and
its "exported agitators" as well as hired spies and bribed sycophants that the
nightmare of Germanism has been forced through coercion and terror down the
throats of a slight handful of Americans of German descent.

II. South America

German designs in
South America, particularly towards Brazil, as well as the underhanded methods
they employed in trying to further her interests there have never been kept
entirely secret. Long before the advent of the present German government,
Germans had always covetously regarded South America as a land which someday
would belong to them. That to pursue such a course might bring them face to face
with the power of the United States was an eventuality they foresaw and for
which they prepared. They felt no uncertainty as to their ultimate success
against the United States; in scores of books prominent German authors have time
and again made the forecast that the United States would, through fear, yield to
the Germans without striking a blow or else, would capitulate in a short war. In
any event the Germans were instructed to be prepared for that day, for that day
must come for the German.

Such warnings,
persistently expressed by German writers, teachers, and statesmen were fully
clarified in the statement of Professor Schulz-Gaevernitz to the effect that:

The more Germany is
condemned to an attitude of passive resistance towards the United States, the
more emphatically must she defend her interests in Central and South America.
For this purpose we need a fleet capable not only of coping with the miserable
forces of the South American states, but powerful enough to cause Americans to
think twice before making any at- tempt to apply the Monroe Doctrine in South
America. (note 21)

German colonists to
South America were encouraged to preserve their nationality, their language,
their German ways of life, and their interest in their "mother country." Thus
there came to exist, especially in Brazil, states within states. The methods the
Germans used in Brazil were those applied in strict accordance with the
principles expounded by Dr. Kapff in his brochure on the "German Schools." In
that work is found the cautionary advice that "Germans in South Brazil had
better become Brazilian citizens as that is the quickest and surest way to
obtain political power." Dr. Kapff also forewarns his countrymen that:

...the danger of
Germanism in South America comes from North America, and it is not only a
question of commercial interest. Is Germany to stand idly by if America sets
about the task of Americanizing that continent? Germany cannot; she must
proclaim, urbi et orbi, that she is determined to maintain her rights in South
America. And Brazil holds out the most buoyant hope for the German and the
spread of Germanism.

Dr. Kapff's
declarations were amplified by Professor Gustav Schmoller who emphatically
asserted that "at all costs a German country must grow up in the twentieth
century in Brazil," (note 22) for in South America Germans will found a new
Germany, "which shall prove a blessing to the old country, and stand as a model
to the whole world!" (note 23)

Dr. Paul Rohrbach's
explanation of German intentions in Brazil were even more arrogantly expressed.
He stated that:

... although the
United States may possibly prevent the acquirement of South American territory
by Germany it cannot prevent the creation of a state within a state, and that
when the Germans have finally accomplished that deed, they would rule the roost
in Brazil and rule over the inferior peoples of that country.

But propaganda must
be made in Germany to popularize the idea, and every good German must assist in
the work because a promising future for Germany lies in her South American
colonies, and to attain those ends Germans must work quietly, jointly and firmly
-- underground.

Professor Wolf,
coinciding with that view expressed his opinion that "South America for the
German, is the land of the future, for that land holds greater promise for the
Germans than Europe or Africa."

Hence, we find that
hand in hand with her march toward world-dominion Germany has always deemed it
her mission to establish, by force or by trickery, great South American
colonies. As she does today, Germany has always laughed at any actual resistance
from the Untied States, consistently declaring our country to be nothing more
than, to use the words of a German, "a heterogeneous melange of crass egoistic
Jingoists having no pure racial blood to build upon" and therefore a land and a
people to be easily vanquished, at any time, by the great German supermen.

Germany tried often
to suit her words with action. Prince Solms-Braunfels made a real effort to
found a German colony in Texas as an American outpost of Germanism and, though
he failed, the idea which prompted his action always persisted in the German
mind as a possibility fraught with great promise of eventual fulfillment.

The Pan-German
League heeded the advice of its leaders to labor in partial silence in South
America and so kept unusual secrecy about their work on that continent. Little
by little they sought to honeycomb those parts of South America which seemed
favorable to Germanism by establishing branch leagues and to reticulate those
regions with confidential agents who carried on their work disguised as
travelers, teachers or diplomatic agents. From time to time they reported their
progress to the Central Association in Germany. The startling disclosure was
only recently made that the German consulates too, had given their aid, serving
as hypodermics through which the malignant bacilli of Germanism was being
syringed into the blood stream of the South American peoples.

In his work on
Chile, Dr. Unfold advised German settlers in South America "to send their
children to Germany to be educated in a fitting German spirit" and that then
they should be sent back to propagate and disseminate the animus of the German
war-soul. "The time will assuredly come," he encouraged, "when Germany, during
the confusion caused by some international conflagration, will have the
opportunity to acquire colonial territory in South America." (note 11)

Records and facts,
whose truths are every minuet being sustained by current events, make it obvious
that German policies in South America, her aims and methods too, have all been,
for a long time, clearly, persistently and publicly pronounced by her leaders.
To the German his aims in South America are merely some additional "must items"
on a long list of German-planned depredations against humanity and civilization.

Here, quoted ad
verbatim, are the words of one observer of German ambitions in South America
who, writing his analysis almost two score years ago, declared:

Whether Germany's
aim in South America is obtainable without friction is something which the
future alone can decide. The future of South America must depend largely upon
the Monroe Doctrine and the navy which is behind it. There will come a time, not
so remote in the future, when the economic penetration of Brazil and other South
American states by the Germans may lead to political supremacy which, if
questioned, must be abandoned or contended for. Con- ceivably, the issue may be
a fighting one. Though Germans rave against the Monroe Doctrine as an empty
pretention, that doctrine nevertheless is destined to bar Germany's way. Already
there are unmistakable signs that Americans have become cognizant of such German
aims and ambitions in South America. On the creation of a great American fleet,
as on the solidarity of England and the United States, the fate of South America
depends. If America is to cry "Hands off!" they must have the power to support
the words. (note 17)

III. Europe

Austria:

True Germanism,
being as it is a purely primitive paganism with some modern "refinements" finds
that it can express itself best by committing truly barbaric and bestial acts of
violence against innocent civilized peoples. Thus, if Germanism were ever to
prevail upon this earth, we can be sure that every step would be taken -- though
few indeed are these steps which the Germans have not already taken! -- to
reawaken every dormant animal instinct and vicious trait in man.

Thus it has been a
chief aim of the German to eradicate each and every one of the three principal
religions from the earth. However, the German was practical enough to realize
that he could not successfully combat all these religions at one time with any
hope of emerging supreme. But since their extinction was absolutely necessary to
the propagation of the German dogma of hate and destruction, the Germans
conceived their now infamous and oft-tried trick of pitting first the believers
in one religion against those of another until, at a single coup, they could
deliver the final knock-out blow against the single remaining adversary. It was
in Austria that they first tested the efficiency of their scheme, a test which,
at that time, actually constituted organized high treason against that country.

Germanism had its
birth in Austria as an organized movement founded and headed by an Austrian
statesman, one Schoenerer, in 1878. Its activity was rather limited in scope
until 1898 when Schoenerer joined with Hasse; from that time on the Pan-German
League in Berlin became the head of the movement in Austria, and it proceeded at
once to establish permanent bases of operation in that country.

First a plan of
attack was decided upon. Hasse and Schoenerer agreed that if Germany was ever to
rule over Austria the latter country must first be forced to break with Rome
(Roman Catholicism). In order to achieve this objective the leaders decided upon
a roundabout course of action. They therefore first created an artificially
stimulated pseudo-religious revivalist movement having anti-Semitism as its
primary and immediate purpose.

The German Hasse
found some renegade, so-called Catholics (though such men were no more Catholics
in spirit than those men of any religion who, hiding behind a pulpit of a
church, rail against God and preach hatred and intolerance) members of the
leading Catholic Party, who agree to act as leaders of such a movement. It was
not long thereafter that a frightful wave of anti-Semitic persecution began to
sweep over Austria, continuing unabated in intensity, until Schoenerer and Hasse
felt that a sufficiently high degree of agitation and terrorism had been
reached. Thereupon they turned their efforts against the Catholic Party and in
turn, started a rabid anti-Catholic, "free-from-Rome" movement of their own,
Schoenerer declaring that "the chains which tie us to a Church hostile to
Germanism must be broken!" The "No Popery" and anti-Catholic agitation was
stimulated by Hasse and Schoenerer through their introduction into Austria of
numerous pseudo-evangelical, free-booter German clergymen who were liberally
paid, with money and liquor, to rail against the Catholics.

Though the complete
success of this plan was not achieved, it did have a salutary effect; that of
establishing and proving the audacity and ruthless aggressiveness of the German.

Czecho-Slovakia:

Notwithstanding the
fierce resistance which met them and their ideas in Bohemia, the Germans were
able to organize various ancillary associations of their League, as well as to
maintain their own press in that country. They were further aided in their work
by the importation of German clergymen, agitators and school-masters all of whom
played leading roles in the struggle to spread Germanism throughout that brave
land of free thought.

The vile work of
the Germans was not easy; they were met with a bold and determined resistance.
The Czechs fought the demented Germans with that fierce and patriotic intensity
characteristic of their old hero, Hus, whose famous motto, "Nothing German!"
became their rallying call and slogan. In fact so strong was the Czech
resistance to Germanism that by 1900 leading Germans were ready to declare that
the fate of their movement lay in Bohemia, and depended on the outcome of their
strug- gle in that country.

Besides attempting
to spread their doctrines, the Germans did everything possible to interfere with
the establishment of the Czech language in Bohemia.

It is to the
redounding credit of Czecho-Slovakia, that even before it had became a nation it
had already fought alone against German dominion; left to its own devices, it
would have never have suffered surrender.

Holland:

A decade before the
last world war it was noted as a fact that the one State which Germany dreaded
was Russia; the two States which she would have liked to see at odds with each
other were Britain and the United States, and the one State she would really
have liked to absorb was Holland, a free and democratic country which hated
Germanism and all its narrow spiritual and political principles. Nevertheless,
the German pursued his work in that country with that fanatic stubbornness so
imbedded in his character.

In 1898 a General
Dutch League was formed in Holland primarily for the purpose of spreading the
Dutch language in South Africa. Not meeting success they appealed to the
Pan-German League for aid and found themselves, shortly thereafter, to be
entirely supported by that German organization. With their aptitude for "pro-
tecting" and "adopting" countries, the members of the League early regarded
Holland as an essential and integral part of Germany and declared that if they
were not able to secure Holland by "peaceful persuasion," they must do so by
force.

In 1901 a German
writer stated that in case of war "Germany could not be expected to regard the
Dutch ports as neutral and refrain from making use of them." (note 25) Writing
in the Deutsche Zeitschrift in 1901, Kurt von Strautz declared that "It is
impossible that outposts of Germanism like the Netherlands, Belgium,
Switzerland, and Austria remain permanently outside the boundaries of Germany."

At the same time
another German asserted that Germany would do well to secure possession of the
Dutch colonies so as to acquire naval bases and additional overseas trade
routes, while another suggested that the Dutch colonies were threatened by
England, the United States and Japan, and therefore must be "protected" by
Germany!

Though the League
did manage to succeed in stirring up a great deal of mischief and agitation in
Holland, Germanism was unable to achieve any marked success in that land so
noted for its great intellectual freedom, a freedom which did not exist even
among the highest class of Germans who, at the time, were labeling the Dutch,
"Low Germans." (note 26)

The Dutch wished to
remain Dutch. They felt too strong and independent in their own freedom to need
or desire the gangster-like protection of the brutish, uncivilized German.

Belgium:

Belgium has never
been considered as anything but a negligible factor in German plans for
world-dominion. The German felt that because of its size Belgium could easily,
and at any time, be forced to bow to the German will. However, he did not
neglect Belgium entirely and, as a matter of fact, he even adopted somewhat
different tactics from those which he employed in other lands.

Instead of trying
his utmost to sponsor the use of the German language in Belgium, the German
believed that his success in that country would depend upon his ability to
popularize Flemish language in contradistinction to French. By thus creating a
sense of Flemish nationality in Belgium the German hoped to prevent the spread
of French influence and so drive a wedge between France and Belgium.

However, the German
was regarded with great suspicion by the Belgian populace and therefore he was
forced to carry on most of his work through underground channels. He failed to
make much headway. But this failure did not dim his hopes for future
realization. In fact he was so certain that the seeds being planted would some
day result in fruition that, back in 1901 he had already, with habitual
high-and-mighty German arrogance, renamed Belgium German "West Mark."

Denmark:

As with Belgium,
the German felt his task in Denmark to be such an easy one that he did not even
bother to use any "finesse" in his attempts to saturate the Danish people with
his Germanism, and so, instead of trying to at least render the idea "palatable"
to the Danes, he aimed at ramming it down their throats.

Nothing came of
such attempts. The Danes might be invaded by German arms; they would never fall
victim to what the German calls "Ideals." For the Danes are an independent,
civilized people with no inclination to be dragged back a thousand years to
savage barbarism.

Switzerland:

The work of the
German League in Switzerland was impeded by its own tactless and stupid
blunders. The propagators of Germanism, past and present, have always failed in
estimating the local or national patriotism of any peoples by completely
undervaluing it.

When, therefore,
the German early and loudly proclaimed that Switzerland was merely an annex of
Germany; that it had no culture and could maintain no freedom of its own, he was
met with the most intense antagonism on the part of the majority of Swiss.

The Swiss have
always burned with the desire to remain forever free, neutral and independent
and everywhere the German was met with the firm declaration that "We Swiss are
no Germans!"

And what more vivid
testimony to that fact can be offered than the moral to be gleaned from the
story of William Tell, and admitted German Classic written by a German author!

Scandinavia:

Of all countries in
continental Europe, the German has always been the least liked in Norway and
Sweden, and though from time to time pro-German voices were raised, the German
League enjoyed little success there.

Instead of Germans
it was Norwegians and Swedes of a "German character" who paid allegiance to the
German ideal and in tracing the work of such traitors it is not to be wondered
at, now, that the Germans were able to find a Quisling in Norway.

Professor Samassa,
stating that the future struggle for existence would be between Germans on the
one side and Britons and Americans on the other remarked that "Sweden will
converge towards Germany the more Germany grows in power, and it is therefore a
German interest to preserve the independence of Sweden. In such a way this
outland will eventually be absorbed by Germany." (note 27)

5. 'Blessed Are the War Makers'

The German Soul

"Ye Have Heard how
in old times it was said, Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth; but I say unto you, blessed are the valiant, for they shall make the
earth their throne. And ye have heard man say, blessed are the poor in spirit;
but I say unto you, blessed are the great in soul and the free in spirit, for
they shall enter into Valhalla. And ye have heard men say, Blessed are the
peacemakers; but I say unto you, Blessed are the warmakers, for they shall be
called, if not the children of Jahve, the children of Odin, who is greater than
Jahve."

Thus out of the
Bible of Germanism cometh the German Sermon on the Mount, as interpreted by
Friedrich Nietzsche, prophet of the Superior Soul, by whose Apostolic sword
millions of people in the past year have been cut down, bleeding to earth.

But the world even
then was blind. It looked on saber-rattling Prussianism not a continuance of the
German war-soul developed throughout the ages, but simply as a transient period
of political history. For had not the spirit of Christ, in the image of Love and
Brotherhood, walked the earth for nineteen centuries, softening men's hearts and
tempering men's souls? Could civilized man fall heir to such a spirit and not
pay heed? In Germany great cathedrals housed the Cross, but though others did
not, German thinkers knew they housed but a great emptiness of soul. For they
well knew that the German gods of pagan days were not dead; that they but slept;
that even in their slumber they were still charged with a fire inflaming the
barbaric instincts of those people.

Heinrich Heine, in
1834, had this to say of Christ in Germany:

Christianity -- and
this is its fairest merit -- subdued to a certain extent the brutal warrior
ardor of the Germans, but it could not entirely quench it; and when the Cross,
that restraining talisman, falls to pieces, then will break forth again the
ferocity of the old combat- ants, the frantic Berserker rage whereof Northern
poets have said and sung so much. The talisman has become rotten, and the day
will come when it will pitifully crumble to dust. The old stone gods will then
arise from the forgotten rains, and wipe from their eyes the dust of centuries,
and Thor with his giant hammer will arise again, and he will shatter the Gothic
cathedrals...when ye hear the tramping of feet and the clashing of arms, ye
neighbors children, be on your guard...it might fare ill with you... Smile not
at the fantasy of one who foresees in the region of reality the same outburst of
revolution that has taken place in the region of the intellect. The thought
precedes the deed as the lightning with thunder. German thunder is of true
German character: it is not very nimble, but rumbles along somewhat slowly. But
come it will, and when ye hear a crashing such as never before has been heard in
the world's history, then know that at last the German thunderbolt has fallen.
At this commotion the eagles will drop dead from the skies and the lions in the
farthest wastes of Africa will bite their tails and creep into their royal
lairs. There will be played in Germany a drama compared to which the French
Revolution will seem but an innocent idyll. At present everything is quiet; and
though here and there some few men create a little stir, do not imagine these
are to be the real actors in the piece. They are only little curs chasing one
another round the arena...till the appointed hour when the troop of gladiators
appear to fight for life and death. And the hour will come.

German intellect,
German culture, German emotion, industry, economics, politics, in fact all
things German, are each but a tiny rivulet feeding with its water the mighty
rushing stream which is the German war-soul. The war-soul itself is thus become
a mighty torrent against which no dike can be built sufficiently high or
sufficiently strong to stem its onrush. Our problem then is not the
course-altering or damming up of any of the rivulets but in contending with and
in subduing that power which they have produced, the power of the German
war-soul.

Let us hold in
abeyance for the moment the question of the all too obvious sufferings which the
German war-soul has inflicted upon the world, and examine it objectively from
the standpoint of its justification as regards world benefits. In short, is the
war-soul of Germany and its spread of Germanism worth more to civilization than
its cost in human life and freedom? Will the world derive more from its
perpetuation than from its extinction?

The answer requires
no guesswork on our part. Once again Nietzsche in is role of spiritual Baedeker
of Germanism leaves no vestige of doubt concerning German blessings. Following
are random excerpts from his Ecce Homo:

Where Germany
spreads the corrupts culture ... Every great crime against culture committed
during the last four hundred years lies on the German conscience ... The Germans
incurred the responsibility for everything that exists today -- the sickliness
and stupidity that opposes culture, the neurosis called Nationalism, from which
Europe suffers...the Germans have robbed Europe itself of meaning and
intelligence and have led it into a blind ally ... In the history of knowledge
Germans are represented only by doubtful names, they have produced only
"unconscious swindlers." "German intellect" is bad air, a psychological
uncleanliness that has now become instinctive -- an uncleanliness which in every
word and gesture betrays the German. And if a man is not clean how can he be
deep? You can never fathom their (the German) depths, they have none; and that
ends it ... The German soul is small and base.

There is nothing to
add to these words. The myth of German intellect and culture explodes under the
hand of their outstanding product. German-proclaimed culture is not worth its,
or any, cost.

However, is there
yet some fine point about the Germans that we do not understand? Over a
generation ago, the late American historian, Charles Francis Adams, disturbed by
this very question, undertook to examine it:

Suspecting in my
own case (that I did not think like a German) I have of late confined my reading
on this topic almost exclusively to German sources. I have been taking a course
on Nietzsche and Treitschke, as also in the German "Denkschrift," illumined by
excerpts from the German papers in this country and the official utterances of
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. The result has been most disastrous. It has
utterly destroyed my capacity for judicial consideration. I can only say that if
what I find in those sources is a capacity to think Germanically, I would rather
cease thinking at all. It is the absolute negation of everything which in the
past tended to the elevation of mankind, and the installation in place thereof
of a system of thorough dishonesty, emphasized by brutal stupidity. There is a
low cunning about it, too, which is to me in the last degree repulsive.

Germanism was born
ages ago, its growth has been proceeding for centuries, and it has now reached
an advanced stage of flowering. Hitler is but a bud indicative of what kind of
"flower" when it comes to full bloom, the world may expect to see!

Because she made no
effort thousands of years ago, to become civilized as did her neighbors, Germany
today is an outsider among all civilized nations. The processes which it has
taken other nations thousands of years to absorb, cannot be suddenly absorbed by
Germany overnight. Consequently, the continued existence of Germany among them
becomes increasingly inimical to the best interests of civilized nations.

The deliberate and
perverse distortions of what should have been a sane and normal course of
development -- as in other nations -- now gives to Germany and her people a
capacity unexcelled by any other peoples on earth, for fostering and propagating
every indecent and inhuman precept of life. And as she seeks to distribute her
own poisonous brew she has herself become so intoxicated by its ingredients that
she can no longer escape the ever- constant desire, the urgent compulsion and
the burning lust which it incites in her to extinguish any and all signs of good
which she sees developed or practiced in other lands. Thus in self-justification
Germany would excuse her own unnatural and perverse life by polluting others
with her malignant infection. Germany is now well beyond all saving. The world
had best look to its own preservation and welfare, lest some of those German
poisons run through her system also and come to destroy it!

With each
succeeding world war which she plans, plots and starts Germany comes ever closer
and closer to her goal of world-dominion. At the present time Hitler, who has
merely striven to remedy mistakes which previous German leaders made in attempts
at world-subjection, may bring the German people very close to realizing their
goal. And Hitler is not the last of the Führers!

How much misery,
suffering, death and destruction are needed before it becomes apparent to the
world that any compromise with Germanism will, of itself, be a certain guarantee
that soon thereafter, Germany must again embark upon her unholy crusade to
dominate it. How many more chances will be vouchsafed it to beat back Germany?
Suppose there comes a time when Germany can not be halted? Dare we risk waiting?
One never knows the exact hour one is scheduled to die; can we, with any more
certitude and assurance tell which opportunity shall be our last? It may well be
that this is our last chance. Suppose we pass it by; look ahead. Next time, the
so-called elder generation of Germany will be the Hitler-trained youth of today,
and this elder generation, now mothers and fathers, will already have instilled
and encouraged their children with the idea of world-dominion. Thus the next
Fuhrer may come to lead a nation of born fanatics! As a consequence of this
there may come to be welded a machine so gigantic in proportions, so
overwhelming in destructive power, that it may well overcome every possible
obstacle in its path. For assuredly the German youth of the next generation --
today schooled in Fuhrer schools -- will find a leader, as past generations of
German youth have always found a leader, to incarnate and personify the body and
soul of that nation and dominate its collective Will.

A leader who will
feed that German body and soul the only food upon which it can subsist: War!

6. A Middle Road?

With Germanism
shown thus to be the very soul of conquest and world-dominion, may we not then
pose this question: Is it possible for the world, in any manner, to find some
compromise that will allow both it and Germany to exist side by side in peace
and justice? In concrete terms, were peace declared tomorrow to Germany's
apparent satisfaction, could this nation born and bred on blood, be expected to
be appeased for more than the immediate future?

We should like to
hope so; but the history of that nation cuts the hope out of our heart.

The majority of
people claim that Hitler alone stands between war and peace. But is it Hitler
alone who smashed Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Holland, Poland, Norway, Belgium and
France and the Balkan countries? Is it Hitler alone who tortures and oppresses
these people?

But for argument's
sake, let us assume that Hitler is no more and the world is seeking a just basis
for peace with Germany. We quickly discover that the Germany of our dreams is
not the Germany of dread reality.

For, in the first
place, there is no longer living in Germany that so-called "older generation"
with whom reasonable talk might be made. This woeful handful is gone and
forgotten and in its stead stands that brown-shirted legion singing that
glorious Horst-Wessel paean: Today Europe, tomorrow all the World! Enlightened
reason with perverted chanters of a world-dirge composed by a drunkard, written
in a brothel and dedicated to a pimp?

What then of a
democratic Germany?

Democracy for a
nation that has destroyed a mighty people of some thirty million Poles with the
epithet "such a servant race has no existence"? Democracy for a people who
believe only in superiority, not equality?

Well then, break
Germany up into small autonomous states?

Nonsense!

That Pan-Germanism
which has received blind allegiance in Berlin of every German irrespective of
his remoteness or his nationality could not overnight endure such an arbitrary
and weak barrier to its dreams.

Let us carve up the
world and give Germany a share which the world and she will agree is her just
due?

Germany already has
given us her answer:

"Germany does not
want a share of anything. She wants, she demands, all or nothing."

Re-educate the
younger generation?

Even were such a
vast program put into operation it is highly doubtful whether it would be worth
the effort, or achieve its objective. The soul is a greater and infinitely more
powerful force than the brain. And the martial characteristics of the German are
linked indelibly with his spirit and have become an integral part of his soul.
Some day that war-soul would again come to dominate his brain.

A final solution:
Let Germany be policed forever by an international armed force?

Even is such a huge
undertaking were feasible life itself would not have it so. As war begets war,
suppression begets rebellion. Undreamed horrors would unfold.

Thus we find that
there is no middle course; no act of mediation, no compromise to be compounded,
no political or economic sharing to be considered. There is, in fine, no other
solution except one: That Germany must perish forever from this earth!

And, fortunately,
as we shall now come to see, that is no longer impossible of accomplishment.

7. Death to Germany

When an Individual
commits premeditated murder, he must be prepared to forfeit his own life in
consequence. When a nation commits premeditated murder upon its fellow nations,
it must be prepared to forfeit its own national life.

On that point the
laws of man and God are explicit:

"An eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a life."

But what is the law
of man or God to Germany? Nothing.

She recognizes only
German law; so be it.

It must then be
German law, if such a law there be, which decrees her penalty -- the penalty of
death.

And there is such a
German law which decrees that death to her:

As in all human
affairs, there must also be in every system of punishment a last limit, a ne
plus ultra that no punishment can overstep. Thus even from the point of view of
pure theory the necessity of the depth-penalty is postulated; it is, as the
ultimate punishment on earth, the indispensable keystone of every ordered system
of criminal law. No apparent reasons which are alleged against it can withstand
any serious criticism. The State, which has the right to sacrifice for its own
protection the flower of its youth, is to feel so nice a regard for the life of
a murderer? We much rather allow to the State the right to make away with men
who are undoubtedly injurious to the common weal. That the powers that be must
bear the sword is an expression which runs deep in the blood of the honest man;
if this truth is to be banished out of the world, great wrong is done to the
simple moral feeling of the people. The ultimate problems of the moral life are
to be solved in the domain of the practical, not of the theoretical, reason. The
conscience of every earnest man demands that blood be atoned by blood, and the
common man must simply grow doubtful of the existence of justice on earth, of
this last and highest punishment is not inflicted. The State makes itself
ridiculous and contemptible if it cannot finally dispose of a criminal. There
must be a limit for mercy and indulgence, as for the law, a last limit at which
the State says: "This is the end, humanity is not longer possible here." It must
be possible to inflict at last a punishment beyond which there is nothing, and
that is the punishment of death. (Heinrich von Treitschke.)

Let German Will be
done!

There remains now
but to determine the best way, the most practical and expeditious manner in
which the ultimate penalty must be levied upon the German nation. Quite
naturally, massacre and wholesale execution must be ruled out. In addition to
being impractical when applied to a population of some seventy million, such
methods are inconsistent with the moral obligations and ethical practices of
civilization. There remains then but one mode of ridding the world forces of
Germanism -- and that is to stem the source from which issue those war-lusted
souls, by preventing the people of Germany from ever again reproducing their
kind. This modern method, known to science as Eugenic Sterilization, is at once
practical, humane and thorough. Sterilization has become a byword of science, as
the best means of ridding the human race of its misfits: the degenerate, the
insane, the hereditary criminal.

Sterilization is
not to be confused with castration. It is a safe and simple operation, quite
harmless and painless, neither mutilating nor unsexing the patient. Its effects
are most often less distressing than vaccination and not more serious than a
tooth extraction. Too, the operation is extremely rapid requiring no more than
ten minutes to complete. The patient may resume his work immediately afterwards.
Even in the case of the female the operation, though taking longer to perform,
is as safe and simple. Performed thousands of times, no records indicate cases
of complication or death. When one realizes that such health measures as
vaccination and serum treatments are considered as direct benefits to the
community, certainly sterilization of the German people cannot but be considered
a great health measure promoted by humanity to immunize itself forever against
the virus of Germanism.

The population of
Germany, excluding conquered and annexed territories, is about 70,000,000,
almost equally divided between male and female. To achieve the purpose of German
extinction it would be necessary to only sterilize some 48,000,000 -- a figure
which excludes, because of their limited power to procreate, males over 60 years
of age, and females over 45.

Concerning the
males subject to sterilization the army groups, as organized units, would be the
easiest and quickest to deal with. Taking 20,000 surgeons as an arbitrary number
and on the assumption that each will perform a minimum of 25 operations daily,
it would take no more than one month, at the maximum, to complete their
sterilization. Naturally the more doctors available, and many more than the
20,000 we mention would be available considering all the nations to be drawn
upon, the less time would be required. The balance of the male civilian
population of Germany could be treated within three months. Inasmuch as
sterilization of women needs somewhat more time, it may be computed that the
entire female population of Germany could be sterilized within a period of three
years or less. Complete sterilization of both sexes, and not only one, is to be
considered necessary in view of the present German doctrine that so much as one
drop of true German blood constitutes a German.

Of course, after
complete sterilization, there will cease to be a birth rate in Germany. At the
normal death rate of 2 per cent per annum, German life will diminish at the rate
of 1,500,000 yearly. Accordingly in the span of two generations that which cost
millions of lives and centuries of useless effort, namely, the elimination of
Germanism and its carriers, will have been an accomplished fact. By virtue of
its loss of self-perpetuation German Will will have atrophied and German power
reduced to negligible importance.

Reviewing the
foregoing case of sterilization we find that several factors resulting from it
firmly establish its advocacy.

Firstly, no
physical pain will be imposed upon the inhabitants of Germany through its
application, a decidedly more humane treatment than they will have deserved. As
a matter of fact it is not inconceivable that after Germany's defeat, the
long-suffering peoples of Europe may demand a far less humane revenge than that
of mere sterilization.

Secondly, execution
of the plan would in no way disorganize the present population nor would it
cause any sudden mass upheavals and dislocations. The consequent gradual
disappearance of the Germans from Europe will leave no more negative effect upon
that continent than did the gradual disappearance of the Indians upon this.

Here again, a
German attests to this point, Spengler's famous: "A nation or an individual may
die and leave no gap!"

A detailed program
of the manner in which the outraged victims of Germanic onslaught might make
certain that Germany leave no gap might be put hypothetically:

Germany has lost
its war. She sues for peace. The imperative demands of the victor people that
Germany must perish forever makes it obligatory for the leaders to select mass
sterilization of the Germans as the best means of wiping them out permanently.
They proceed to:

1.Immediately and completely disarm the German army and have all armaments
removed from German territory.

2.Place all German utility and heavy industrial plants under heavy guard,
and replace German workers by those of Allied nationality.

3.Segregate the German army into groups, concentrate them in severely
restricted areas, and summarily sterilize them.

4.Organize the civilian population, both male and female, within
territorial sectors, and effect their sterilization.

5.Divide the German army (after its sterilization has been completed) into
labor battalions, and allocate their services toward the rebuilding of those
cities which they ruined.

6.Partition Germany and apportion its lands. The accompanying map gives
some idea of possible land adjustments which might be made in connection with
Germany's extinction.

7.Restrict all German civilian travel beyond established borders until all
sterilization has been completed.

8.Compel the German population of the apportioned territories to learn the
language of its area, and within one year to cease the publication of all books,
newspapers and notices in the German language, as well as to restrict
German-language broadcasts and discontinue the maintenance of German-language
schools.

9.Make one exception to an otherwise severely strict enforcement of total
sterilization, by exempting from such treatment only those Germans whose
relatives, being citizens of various victor nations, assume financial
responsibility for their actions.

Thus, into an
oblivion which she would have visited upon the world, exists Germany.

8. 'Lest We Forget ...'

Perhaps in the
Future ...

United States has
entered the war. The struggle is long and bitter but at last the Allies forge
ahead. Their armies surround Germany.

Germany realizes
that she has lost again. She dose not want invasions. She fears the vengeance
long overdue her. So she sues for peace. Comes the Armistice!

And immediately
thereafter, as once before, Germany finds that the words "Humanity" -- which she
has debased; "Justice" -- which she has distorted; and "God" whom she has
profaned, have an irresistible sales appeal to Allied Statesmen.

Germany puts her
propaganda machine to work.

Soon men in the
victor nations are urging:

"Peace with Honor!"
-- "Justice without Rancor!" -- "God and Mercy!", and all those other weak,
sticky phrases which befuddle the weary minds and exhausted emotions of the
long-suffering people of the war-decimated democracies.

Forgotten in the
sudden lush of a peace that is no peace, are all the brave sons who were
sacrificed to the monster Germany: forgotten is the plight of the countries
whose resources were drained, and whose energies were sapped in stemming the
Teutonic onslaught. Forgotten, too, is the duty owed to generations yet to be
born. Forgotten, as in 1918, is the day of the coming of the next German leader.

Yes: all forgotten
because the Allies cannot resist such an appeal. And so, even though a hundred
years and a hundred instances have shown the hypocrisy of a German promise, the
Allies fall once again its victim.

They forget that
the struggle they waged was not a sport's contest: that their adversary was a
beast, not a human being! And so, filled to overflowing with the infectious germ
of sentiment, they stretch out their hand to their fallen opponent and help him
arise.

They pat him on the
back with a hearty "No hard feelings, old man!" and, happy that the war is now
over and done with, return to their homes.

Believing,
sincerely, that German war will not come again.

Believing that
somehow, in some inexplicable manner, Germany has accepted Christ.

A decade passes. A
decade of hard work and many sacrifices.

A decade of much
sweat and little pleasure.

But the democratic
peoples do not mind. They are building a better world for their children.

So they think.

Meanwhile Germany
grows strong and robust.

Her army is larger
and more powerful than ever before; she has developed new weapons whose
frightfulness surpass all imagination. She had found a new leader. And her
war-souled people are bent once again upon conquering the world.

Once more the earth
trembles beneath the march of the German boot.

Like a cobra
Germany is poised:

She strikes!

The people of the
civilized nations are stunned.

They exclaim, "But
it cannot be again!"

But it is.

And this time it is
Too Late!

For Germany wins.
She is mistress of the world.

...and so a
thousand years of peace was sold to the Devil for a moment's respite! And only
because men tried to placate the body, instead of expunging forever the bestial
war-soul, of the German!
